I saw patinahat's tab of this song and I spent 2 hours listening to the song and I noticed he
got it wrong. Thanks for trying though, patrick. Following these chords should help you sound
 just like the band. Kevin Barnes is about as good a songwriter as you can get, by the way!

In the beginning the guitar plays higher in the neck besides the barred chords in the
rest of the song.

Here are the lyrics with chords. The Bb to A/Dm is the only part that I am not totally
convinced is correct, but I couldn't interpret that spot easily and the A/Dm is similar
enough.

"My Favorite Boxer"-Written by Kevin Barnes Performed by of Montreal
-----------------------
(Gm)Hector (F)Ormano?s my (Ebm)favorite box(A-)er
He(Bb) goes(A/Dm) sma(F7)sho and E(Bb)very(Bb/Dm) one(F7) (G/Eb)Cheers (F)
(Gm)He turns big (F)men to (Ebm)whimpering co(A-)wards
(Bb)He?s (A/Dm)so (F7)strong and (Bb)how (Bb/Dm)I (F7)ad (G/Eb)ore (F)him

Change to Ab 2/4:
But (Cm)im so (C#)weak 
So much so that(Eb)I?m(Ab)afraid to walk alone down my street
(C#)I know I?ll(Eb/Cm)never be as brave as (D)Hector Ormano!

Change to C# 2/8(?):
(C#)One (Ab)summer (Bbm)day I was (Ab)sitting (F#)on the bridge(Ab)
(Ab7)Looking at the water be(C#)low
(C#)When I hear (C7)some (Bbm)laughter and A fa(Ab)mili(F#)ar voice(Ab)
Coming from down the road(Ab)
It was (Eb/Cm)then that I saw and my (Ab)heart nearly dropped
I saw (Eb/Cm) Hector Ormano with some (F#)friends
And (Ab)as they approached my (F#)mind went blank
As I (Ab)struggled to find the words
I was (Ab7)dying to (C#)tell him (Bbm)(Fm)(F#)(Ab->7)(C#)

(C#)As Hector (Ab)walked (Bbm)by he picked up a (Ab)stick
And (Ab7)threw it at my (C#)head
(C#)His friends (Ab)went (Bbm)quiet and (Ab)Hector said to me(Ab7)
What are you looking at (Db)wimp?
(C#)HHHHHEEEECCCTTTTTOOOORRRR!!!!!!

Back to Bb 4/4:
(Gm)Hector Or(F)mano?s my (Ebm)favorite box(A-)er
(Bb)Ev(A/Dm)en (F7)thought he (Bb)was (Bb/Dm)mean (F7)to (G/Eb) me.  (F)
(Gm)My father (F)thinks im A (Ebm)meaningless no (A-)one
(Bb)Compared (A/Dm)to the (F7)perfect (Bb)Hec (Bb/Dm)tor (F7)Or (G/Eb)ma (F)no
Hum(Bb/Dm)(F7)(G/Eb)(F)
(Fin)
